SUMMARY:Preparing for Respiratory Virus Season: Updated Maternal Immunization Guidance and Strategies
DESCRIPTION:Maternal immunization remains a critical component of prenatal care and a key strategy for protecting pregnant people and their infants from respiratory illnesses. To help you prepare for the upcoming respiratory virus season\, the ACOG-led Maternal Immunization Task Force is hosting a webinar for health care professionals and public health agency staff focused on the prevention of COVID-19\, influenza\, and RSV during pregnancy. This webinar will provide an overview of the latest clinical recommendations and guidance for maternal immunization and equip health care professionals with the information they need to confidently counsel and vaccinate pregnant patients. \nParticipants will also learn practical strategies for vaccine storage\, handling\, and administration and pharmacy access to support efficient implementation and improve patient access to recommended vaccines. By addressing common barriers and sharing best practices\, this webinar aims to help health care professionals increase vaccine confidence\, acceptance\, and demand and ultimately improve protection for pregnant people and their infants throughout the respiratory virus season. Join Drs. Komkwuan P. Paruchabutr\, Mark Turrentine\, Naima T. Joseph\, and Veronica Vernon as they discuss maternal vaccinations and other tools that can keep pregnant people safer this respiratory illness season. \nLearning Objectives \n• Review current recommendations for maternal immunization against COVID-19\, influenza\, and RSV during pregnancy \n• Identify evidence-based strategies to address common clinician and patient questions and concerns related to COVID-19\, influenza\, and RSV vaccines \n• Implement practical approaches to increase vaccine acceptance and uptake as part of routine prenatal care during respiratory virus season \n• Identify best practices for vaccine storage\, handling\, and administration to ensure safe and effective delivery of recommended maternal vaccines

SUMMARY:Evidence-based evaluation and treatment of sexual desire disorder
DESCRIPTION:Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD) is a common yet often underdiagnosed condition that significantly impacts patient quality of life and relationships. Despite its prevalence\, many clinicians face challenges in recognizing\, assessing\, and treating this condition effectively.\nThis webinar will provide a comprehensive clinical update on HSDD\, beginning with the physiologic basis of the human sexual response cycle and an introduction to the biopsychosocial model as a framework for assessment. Participants will learn practical\, evidence-based strategies for evaluating patients presenting with symptoms of low sexual desire\, enabling more confident and accurate diagnosis.\nThe session will conclude with actionable guidance on developing a comprehensive treatment plan\, including appropriate follow-up care and the role of FDA-approved therapies in managing female HSDD.\n\nSpeakers\n \nJessica Pettigrew\, DNP\, CNM

SUMMARY:Unbundling is Coming: Making Sense of New Perinatal Billing and Coding for Midwives
DESCRIPTION:The transition from global maternity billing to unbundled maternal care coding represents a significant change in reimbursement\, documentation\, and workflow for midwifery practice. Recent changes to the American Medical Association (AMA) Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) Code Set adopted by Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) require clinicians to report antepartum\, intrapartum\, birth\, and postpartum services separately rather than relying on traditional global OB package codes. This activity prepares midwives to apply new coding requirements across the continuum of care.\n\nParticipants will learn the appropriate codes for prenatal\, postpartum\, and other outpatient visits; antenatal hospital admission; birth; and inpatient and outpatient postpartum care through case-based examples and coding scenarios. Attendees will also learn to distinguish straightforward and complex labor management in order to bill intrapartum care. Content will emphasize practical application for CNMs and CMs working in midwifery-led care practices or other models of care that include physicians or multi-disciplinary teams.\n  \nPresented by: \nKatie Page\, CNM\, MSN\, FACNM\n \nJessica Anderson\, DNP\, CNM\, WHNP\, FACNM\n \nLeslie Cornwell\, CNM\n \n

SUMMARY:Surgical First Assist Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Midwife as Surgical First Assistant is an expanded practice area for the CNM and CM. The midwife who serves as first assistant in surgery functions as a perinatal and birth professional in the perioperative setting. The workshop’s focus is on applying current evidence so midwives can participate and provide continuity of care for clients during a cesarean section. In this course\, you will learn core knowledge and skills needed to perform as the surgical first assistant for cesarean\, at a novice level. \nThis course is designed specifically for midwives and addresses the promotion of vaginal birth\, shared decision-making and informed consent\, and functioning as an active member of the perioperative team. Attendees learn how to perform immediate pre-op preparation of the client for surgery\, and during surgery provide optimal surgical exposure\, participate in tissue dissection\, ensure hemostasis\, perform or facilitate wound closure\, and perform other intraoperative functions to assist the surgeon in carrying out a safe operation that optimizes outcomes.

SUMMARY:State-Level Associations Between Poverty\, Rurality\, Midwifery Care\, and Birth Outcomes: A Secondary Data Analysis
DESCRIPTION:This session will present findings from a state-level secondary data analysis examining associations among poverty\, rurality\, midwifery care\, and adverse birth outcomes across the United States. The presentation will situate the study within current maternal and infant mortality trends and persistent rural and socioeconomic disparities in maternity care access. Participants will review the study design\, analytic approach\, regression findings\, and exploratory interaction effects suggesting that the relationship between midwifery care and birth outcomes may differ by rurality. The session will also consider the implications of these findings for maternity care systems\, workforce planning\, and public health policy. Discussion will emphasize the potential role of midwifery care in strengthening maternal and infant health\, particularly in rural communities.\n\n\nLearning Objectives\n\nAt the conclusion of this session\, participants will be able to: \n\n\nDescribe current U.S. and global trends in maternal and infant mortality\nIdentify key disparities related to poverty and rurality in the U.S.\nExplain how poverty\, rurality\, and midwifery care function as a system-level determinants of birth outcomes within a state-level maternal health framework\nInterpret findings from multiple linear regression and interaction models examining the association between midwifery care and adverse birth outcomes.\nDiscuss the evolving role of midwifery care as a public health strategy to improve birth outcomes\, particularly in rural communities.\n\n\nSpeaker \nMyra DeLuca\, MSN\, CNM\, FACNM

SUMMARY:Midwifery Week 2025: Clinical Strategies for the Screening & Identification of the Most Common Mental Health Disorders in the Midwifery Setting
DESCRIPTION:Approximately 26% of women in the US experience a mental health disorder\, 7.1% have a serious\, persistent mental health disorder. Of these persons only half will receive treatment. Without diligent screening\, mental health disorders will go unrecognized. The midwifery clinical setting is an ideal place to implement an evaluation process for identification of symptoms associated with mental health disorders. This will allow formal diagnosis and initiation of the treatment process through education\, medication management.\, therapy\, or referral. This presentation provides a method to apply and integrate the screening process into clinical practice.\nSpeaker(s)\n\nCheryl Carroll\, DNP\, CNM\, PMHNP-BC\, PMHCNS-BC\, CST
